Adrian Crum commented on OFBIZ-4270:
------------------------------------
Sascha,
Having duplicate relationships with different types is possible. Example: In
the US, a city is a member of a county, but a city could also be the county
seat (county capitol). So, there would be two relationships from the county to
the city - but with different types (county member and county seat). The same
thing is true with a US state and a city: a city is a member of a state, but a
city could also be a state capitol. So, there would be two relationships from
the state to the city - but with different types (state member and state
capitol).
In The Data Model Resource Book, what is being modeled are geographic
boundaries. The book describes how a member Geo doesn't have to be physically
located inside its parent Geo - it can be an abstract boundary like a sales or
service territory. In those cases the relationship is more like a role than a
physical relationship.
So, we can use the association type to define Geo roles (as above). Or we could
have a Geo role relationship entity - to model things like colonies and
territories that are outside a geographic boundary but are still related in
some way.

> USA from the country drop down and it will display all the USA states,
> similarly it works just fine for Spain but if you try once again with either

> Both UK and France have Counties saved in the datamodel but the form does not
> lookup in the correct location as they are not defined as State.
